Episode 101: Me You Mnuchin ("Me You Madness," 2021)
Movies! They're madness, for me and you. They certainly are, at least, for writer, director, producer, and star of "Me You Madness," (2021), Louise Linton. Deadly annoying and agonizingly pretentious, it still manages to remain the worst thing of all: boring as hell. Combine Don Jr.'s coke-addled mania, the inhuman sociopathy of Stephen Miller, and the screeching arrogance of noted YouTube critic Doug Walker and you get something approximating this bomb.

Episode 100: The Podbending Masters ("The Last Airbender," 2010)
EPISODE 100 BABY WHOOOOOO!!!!! Lewis and Nick have finally logged one hundred episodes, just as Aang the Avatar spent one hundred years in his iceberg. Speaking of which, the movie sucks! The boys took a big risk and it really did not pay off on this infamous critical bomb. Crappy writing, shoddy effects, explicit whitewashing, and a gaggle of awkward childhood actors make this turkey more forgettable than entertainingly awful.

Episode 99: America, Fuck No (Team America: World Police," 2004) feat. Sal
Lewis and Nick wrap up their ad hoc Bush month with "Team America: World Police" (2004) featuring their good old buddy Sal. A mindless, directionless piece of dumb-smart-guy satire, this musical puppet show does a disservice to both forms of media from which it borrows so liberally without offering anything of itself. Technical virtues aside, all political/cultural commentary is nothing better than what you'd get from a foul-mouthed fourth grader.
